Sony is basically a patent troll these days...

I'm pretty sure the majority of their patents are things they never intend to use, they just want to be able to charge anyone else that wants to do it.

    This is your usual daily reminder that each of the tech giants obtain something like 3000 patents a year, by patenting everything under the sun. For the sole purpose that if one of them sues another for the violation of one such patent, the other can dig up a hundred of them to countersue.
